Integration schemes for fabricating polysilicon gate MOSFET and high-K dielectric metal gate MOSFET

摘要

Multiple integration schemes for manufacturing dual gate semiconductor structures are disclosed. By employing the novel integration schemes, polysilicon gate MOSFETs and high-k dielectric metal gate MOSFETs are formed on the same semiconductor substrate despite differences in the composition of the gate stack and resulting differences in the etch rates. A thin polysilicon layer is used for one type of gate electrodes and a silicon-containing layer are used for the other type of gate electrodes in these integration schemes to balance the different etch rates and to enable etching of the two different gate stacks.
